I don't think it's fair to call McCluskey dumb (corrupt,yes.)but not knowing if a certain Italian restaurant has good food doesn't prove he's dumb, just not Italian. Maybe if he took Sollozo to a pub, Sollozo may have asked; "Is the corned beef and cabbage any good here?"
Maybe he would, but that would also be a great deal different than asking "How's the Irish food in this place?"
